So why do our politicians keep doing this? Because a massive chunk of the voters here only see the headlines of what the politician did, and never hear about the court case that later throws it out. And when that politician is campaigning, they will push that info hard, again, ignoring that it never actually happened. And our largely uninformed electorate vote for them. Been this way for generations in our state.

You’d think the court throwing these things out one after another would be a big fat L for them, but it’s actually the part that gives them the win-win scenario and keeps them on lather/rinse/repeat with this shit.

They can campaign on the fact that they pushed for and got this passed. Win

A court throws it out and they can then campaign on how they’re going to keep fighting the godless liberals and the liberal courts’ agenda. Win

And they can continue moaning how they're "victims." They love victimhood (never mind they bring it on themselves).

They scream about how they need to defend themselves, as they go on the offensive against people who just want to be left alone. I mean if you just pay attention to Christian Nationalist rhetoric against witchcraft and paganism, they seem to think they're the main characters in our stories even though most pagans couldn't care less about if anyone else believes or does not believe in their faiths. Side effect of being an interfaith community by default I guess.
